Between Love and the Mafia
52. Hating Compliments

Bela is not the biological child of Mr. Taryo, but he loves Bela as his own child even more than himself.

Every night Mr. Taryo always remember Bela, but Mr. Taryo did not tell it because he was afraid Bela thought and had an effect on his life there. So Mr. Taryo only told me a little about the development of the garden.

Even Mr. Taryo told me about Mario who likes gardening even if only planting and harvesting. He said he wanted to learn about gardening to eat organic vegetables.

"Alright sir, Bela said yes sir" Mata Bela could not lie when she saw the old man in front of her who she always missed but very little time to meet him.

"Yes, be careful" Taryo's gentle hand stroked Bela's head.

Bela left Mr. Taryo and did not forget to give a warm embrace between the father and adopted child that is very moving.

While walking towards the car, Bela sees Mario blocking his way. Mario wants to talk to Bela for a while but not in the presence of Bara.

More precisely want to speak four eyes only, because Mario is very long with the figure of Bela in this house.

"Wait, I want to talk bell" Mario ventured to prevent Bela from leaving.

"Mario, tomorrow we still meet at school better talk tomorrow. Because I was sleepy and wanted to go home" Bela refused Mario's invitation with reason very sleepy.

Mario wants to talk to Bela, but what he gets is a rejection. And Mario also could not force his will because it was clear from Bela's eyes that it was a little soft and yawned repeatedly.

Finally Bela just say goodbye to Mario to go home and Mario did not talk to Bela about his thoughts that were spinning at that time.

"Alright I go home first yes, you take good care of yourself and do not forget to take care of oma" said Bela as a reminder.

He also holds Mario's cheek as if giving orders and responsibilities to him to guard the oma. But Mario is taking the wrong thing.

In that touch Mario felt a vibration and like getting a great touch. His heart skipped a beat and his mind said it was round to declare love to Bela. Not today but tomorrow at school.

That night Bara and Bela returned to their home. In the middle of the journey Bela's eyes were very heavy and she fell asleep in the car to relieve her drowsiness.

"I don't know about this life, why I should hate you and want to take that revenge on you. But all I know is that you are a descendant of Pras who killed my father" muttered Bara in his mind.

While driving his inner car exclaimed and his eyes occasionally stared at Bela who was being closed. Sensation there is a sense of contradiction and full of questions and answers in him.

He also did not know what was going on in his life. Sometimes I feel like I can't do all that. And sometimes also blindly punishing innocent girls.

Along the way Bara continued to struggle not at peace with his own mind. Moreover, seeing the beautiful girl beside him who slept comfortably so that he did not want to wake her just to see the free face of Bela.

"Had arrived, he was still sleeping" muttered Bara.

Bara forced to hold Bela because he did not want to wake the girl from her sleep. She carried Bela to her room.

It was seen by Alex who sat relaxing while watching TV in the middle room. There was a smile on Alex's lips seeing a real miracle, he did not know how to think his best friend at that time, because he had treated the girl in his carrier well.

"I think he was exposed to the night wind, to hold Bela with attention" said Alex with a smile staring at Bela's room.

He continued to look at Bela's room with a smile, but Bara had not yet come out of Bela's room.

Meanwhile inside Bela's room, Bara fixes Bela's sleep and gives her a blanket to cover her body.

What a little attention he gave to Bela without anyone knowing it, but Alex he must know because for a moment Alex peeked out from behind closed doors is not tight.

"Why do you have to be his son? " Murm abara inwardly while shaking her head. His face looks full of resignation. It was like seeing regret in the destiny he was living. As if he wanted to say that he disagreed with what he got.

After that he came out of Bela's room and did not forget Alex said hello just to make sure that his best friend Bara was conscious while holding Bela.

"Hmm, are you holding her? " Task Alex as if he didn't know.

"As you can see" Sahut Bara relaxed.

"What an amazing look, I think you should love that little girl. Do not continue to be hurt before there is someone who really loves him sincerely" said Alex. This time his words contained an element full of truth.

"Be quiet" Tightly Bara and he chose to go up to his room.

Though in his mind permeates Alex's words because what he says also has a point. Something we hate is not necessarily hated by people either. And something we ignore can be liked and desired by some people.

But Bara's determination was unanimous, that he would not put his heart on Bela and would make her suffer. And after that made Bela seem to want to turn off her own life slowly. According to the original plan he had.

Morning

"Who brought me to my room? did master Bara carry me? " Bela woke up from her sleep and kept asking herself. Because he knew that Bela was sleeping in the car that night, but after Bela opened her eyes it turned out that she had awakened in her own bedroom bed.

Bela imagined the events of the night if it was true Bara who carried her, then her heart was very happy. Because Bela thought that her master had turned that cold attitude into warmth.

"Here you go, don't think too much. I'd better cook it" Bela cleaned up and got out of bed.

As usual in the morning blind Bela greeted him happily and then took the cookware to skil back in the kitchen after a long time he was lying weakly on the bed and now it was time to act.

Bela cooked as she pleased, and her cooking was always delicious. Alex was very happy to stay at Bara's house. In addition to saving money, he could also taste Bela's cooking at will.

"It's ready, time to rush to school" Bela said. He immediately went inside his room and rushed to prepare himself for school.

This time Alex is going to be Bela's personal driver because it's an order from Bara. Since then Bela has not been allowed to go by taxi or bus, and now only Alex has to pick up.

Finished changing clothes, Bela immediately went to the dining room. There he saw Alex was ready and neat. It seemed like he was going to eat as well before leaving to deliver Bela.

"By my brother" Sapa Bela was friendly.

"Amorning, have you eaten? " Task Alex just for a little chat.

"Yes obviously not yet, I was cooking and now it's time to eat" Sahut Bela with a casual answer.

"Oh yeah, I forgot there's a good chef in this house. Hehehe" Alex gave a hint of praise that made Bela smile with a sigh

The two of them were already very familiar, even eating breakfast together. Actually Bela wants to wake Bara but Alex forbids it because Bara is busy, there are things he must take care of in his business.

Finally Bela departed with a farewell using only a voice in front of Bara's room. Because he does not want Bara to get angry again if Bela just leaves without saying goodbye.

"Sir, I'm going to school first huh. Later if you want to eat, I have prepared food for you at the dinner table. Eat a lot so as not to hurt" cried Bela from outside Bara's room door.

Although there was no answer, at least he said goodbye to Bara. And go to school with Alex.

Though Bara inside had heard the voice of the girl who was screaming to say goodbye to him, but he did not scoff at the scream until bela had really left for school.

For Bela's pocket money, now Bara has entrusted to his best friend. So Alex is holding the money for Bela and the girl needs it. I don't know what the reason Bara did that, but the point is that he still meets Bela's needs until their marriage contract has expired.

"Sister, why did Mr. Bara give you this allowance. Usually he gives it to me himself"Ask Bela was full of curiosity as the two of them were on their way to school.

"Maybe he's been very busy lately" Alex said confidently. But he himself did not know the reason for doing so.

"Hmm well, at least I can ask you for money instead of that arrogant master" Bela said with a smile on Alex.

The two of them had indeed been fused between a sister and an older brother. Because Bela is very comfortable in Alex's side while with Bara it feels like he has to continue stroking his chest and testing patience.

Arriving at school he entered the classroom and sat quietly without much talk. He pulled out a book and his hands were itching to draw something.

Bela drew her imagination wandering through the universe. It's about trees growing in the mountains. Though he has not been there, but his imagination has arrived first to the forest.

"What a beautiful picture of you" Sela's voice greeted. Bela fell silent and stopped writing.

His eyes stared intently at Sela like he wanted to tell her to keep a secret about him being so stupid yesterday because he wanted to jump from a height.

But Sela didn't talk about it, because right now Sela is sitting next to Bela praising the image Bela is working on. Sela was talking about the picture, not about yesterday's events, as if she had forgotten everything.

"It turns out you are good at drawing yes Bel, your picture is very beautiful and looks like real" Sela gave her praise to Bela after seeing the picture in Bela's hand even if only a glance.

"Thank you" Bela said with a small smile and continued with her image. Though he did not like ouhian, but this time he had to accept it. Because Bela does not want if Sela becomes disappointed when the praise is rejected so that Sela leaked Bela stupidity to everyone.

Bela tried to calm herself down and did not want to speak anything related to her yesterday. Because Sela herself had already been silent and had not spoken about it.

Bela continued to draw and let Sela sit beside herself and while looking at the image of Bela. The two of them did not say much, while Sela just stared in amazement at the image Bela was working on with regards to the natural scenery.

"Heyyy, I miss you Bela. You go anywhere why not go to school for a week" Beni suddenly came out of nowhere and fussed about it in the morning which should make Bela calm down.

"Be quiet, he's focusing on drawing" Tegur Sela on Beni, as she focuses on seeing Bela drawing.

"Truely, wow beautiful and also beautiful like the person" Praised Beni with his silly laughter that gave appreciation to Bela's Image in the form of applause.

Bela immediately stopped drawing and getting everything done, she did not like it when someone praised her like that. Because Bela does not want someone to say compliments so that makes Bela very uncomfortable about the nonsense given.

Moreover, the compliment came from Beni's mouth. It seems like Bela is still a little upset with Beni, and she doesn't want to get too close to Beni.

He immediately cleared up his image and stopped to pass on his imagination in a picture book. Bela quickly leaves the classroom and tries to win herself over.

"Ahh no fun, it's all because of you Beni" Sela was upset at Beni. Sela felt that Beni's words offended Bela, causing the girl to leave and leave the class.

"Bela, where are you going? " Task Sela while following Bela from behind. But Bela just fell silent and did not want to talk.

"Stop, don't make stupid things anymore" said Sela, bringing up yesterday's incident, making Bela's footsteps stop just like that.

He was silent in a place where he did not want to step again. His eyes tried to pay attention around fearing that someone would hear it.

Fortunately, there were not many students that came in the morning. So Bela's heart calmed down a little and tried to speak four-eyes to Sela.

"Come here" said Bela while dragging Sela's hand.

Sela was only speechless to see Bela's treatment of her. He just obeyed Bela's orders even though he didn't know where they were going. Because actually Sela knows Bela's life is in chaos.
